iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 Beta 3 Now Available for Download with Bug Fixes and Performance Enhancements

Here it is, folks, the third beta of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3. If you are already running beta 2 on your device, or devices, it’s best you go right ahead and download beta 3 immediately.

In order to do that, all you have to do is connect to Wi-Fi, make sure you have 50% or more battery, and then go to Settings > General > Software Update.

When the update shows up, tap on ‘Update Now.’

Do keep in mind that iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 are bug-fix updates only. What this means is, you will only find under-the-hood refinements in the third beta as well.

Apart from that, there are going to be important security fixes in this update too.

It is recommended that you go right ahead and download the update without wasting any time at all. This ensures the smooth functioning of your iPhone and iPad, especially when it comes to running third-party apps.

You may even experience improved battery life as well.

You too can download and test out iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 on your iPhone and iPad ahead of the official launch. Just sign up for the public beta here, and the update will become available to you over the air.

The final version of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 is expected to be released by the end of this month. Apple will release iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 beta a short while after that.

Basically, the betas will keep on coming until iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 are announced in the summer, and we will have plenty of updates to look forward to.

We can expect a huge change in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, particularly when it comes to Siri.

The assistant is set to get a huge upgrade and will be contextually aware as well. Though it won’t be a replacement for AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, it is taking small steps towards growth.
